Music meme

[labellementeuse]

Because my love for music memes is deep and wide, plus I leave Wellington in five days. Also I'm obsessively refreshing rageprufrock for the second 14 Valentines story, so hey. Ganked off sennical.

Open iTunes/iPod or Windows Media Player to answer the following. Go to your library. Answer, no matter how embarrasing it is.

How many songs: 4808. This isn't the whole library, just my playlist, but it does have most of my stuff in it. Also, my playlist is like five years old and has a LOT of duplicates on it. I'm looking forward to getting a new computer and fixing it all up properly. *bounce* Which reminds me I have to burn all the music off this comp onto a DVD soon...
Total time: 308 hours and change, which seems... kind of large? Maybe I'm not reading it right.

Sort by song title:
First Song: "Growltiger's Last Stand" From Cats by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The reason it's first is it actually has the quotation marks in the filename. Don't ask me...
Last Song: Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie.

Sort by time:
Shortest Song: "They Go The Mustard Out" from the Once More With Feeling OST, 17 seconds. :D!
Longest Song: "Ode To Joy", Beethoven, 23:39.

Sort by artist:
First Artist: "Unknown artist." (LA song by Beth Hart. But "Unknown" goes on for aaaages and includes Paul Simon and Cabaret and Shrek and allsorts.) First actual artist: 3 Doors Down.
Last Artist: Zoe Hart, who was (presumably) Child Cosette in some Les Mis production, since she's singing Castle On a Cloud. Again, last actual artist: Zed. *AMUSED*

Sort by album:
First Album: "Unknown Album." After the, again, tonnes of these, "1" (The first disc we uploaded onto the computer, presumably) which I have a sneaking suspicion is actually the same album sennical has in this position; the Beatles' collected works, which are collected by year, so "1962-1966 [Disc 1]".
Last Album: Zanna, Don't! I think lordofchaos sent me a song from this and it's hilarous. :D

Top Three Most Played Songs: Um, because I'm doing this on the family computer, this is more "songs all six-to-eight of us love," and the top three are:
121 (!!!) plays, "Redemption Songs" by Bob Marley and the Wailers
94 plays, "Home Again" by Shihad (LOVE this song a lot.)
89 plays, "No Woman No Cry" by Bob Marley and the Wailers.

I find this very anthropologically interesting, so I'm going to do... some more:

Top three songs that I think I have contributed more than half the plays to:
55, "Killer Queen" by Queen
52, "Road Trippin'" by RHCP
50, "Delight" by Bic Runga

Top three songs that I'm definitely the only one to have played:
43, "Lydia" by Fur Patrol. I like this song a lot.
35, "If She Wants Me" by Belle and Sebastian
27, "The Lady is a Vamp" by the Spice Girls

Top three songs I definitely uploaded onto the computer:
78, "Let it be," the Beatles
(A whole bunch of Queen starting with) 66, "The Show Must Go On," Queen
50, "Delight", Big Runga.

First song that comes up on Shuffle:
"Don't Phunk With My Heart", Black Eyed Peas. *blush*

Search:
"sex," how many songs come up? - 3.

"death," how many songs come up? - 45. Forty songs by Death Cab For Cutie, plus

"Creeping Death" by Metallica
"Death of the First Born" from The Prince of Egypt
"All Eyez on Me" by 2pac (NOT ACTUALLY MINE) from an album which has "deathrow presents" in it or something.

"love," how many songs come up? - 247. Notably/Interestingly/Randomly:
"Freddy My Love" from Grease
"As Lovers Go" by Dashboard Confessional
"Do You Think We Could Fall In Love" from Zanna, Don't!

Zanna, Don't!

Harper LOVES! *snuggles song ... if that is possible*

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

*g* it's my "lordofchaos" song in my flist playlist, you actually sent it to me! :D I love it a lot and sort of mean to find the actual album someday, always providing I can get it here. (Did I ever mention to you, BTW, that I got your christmas card? Because I did, and I was re-reading it today which is why I thought of it. ♥)

[bad-mushroom.livejournal.com]

You have an flist playlist?

I really don't know what else to say.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

:D yes! (http://labellementeuse.livejournal.com/131078.html) I got people to send me or tell me songs that they thought were "them," whether they were digging them right then or just loved the song or whatever reason. You should tell or send me one! And that way you'll be in it hee. :D

[bad-mushroom.livejournal.com]

Ooh, interesting. Let's see, I'll have to think about this. Get back to you on that.

[bad-mushroom.livejournal.com]

Actually, the first thing that comes to mind is "Blossom" by James Taylor...I think my parents have a recording of me singing that when I was about two.

[shoeless-girl.livejournal.com]

OMG OMG OMG

Which version of Cats do you have? As in, which cast recording? I had the Australian cast recording when I was young on tape, and I played it to death, then the tape died. I've been looking on it foreeeever.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

*wince* I have no idea what version! Probably not the Australian cast recording (I actually saw it in Sydney, I think with that cast, when I was really little...) but it might be. I can make you a CD and post it if you lke??

[shoeless-girl.livejournal.com]

Oh! I'd love that! You wouldn't mind?

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Of course not! re-re-re email me your address (*eyeroll* I'm sure it's in my inbox somewhere but...) and I'll get onto it! I think I've got it down here...

[rewihendrix.livejournal.com]

you are not the only one to play 'Lydia'. i think atleast three of us have it on our playlist. This is my last 10 minutes of internet before i catch the plane tomorrow. seeya on saturday!

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Oh, I thought you hated it. :P *shrug* oh well

OMG YOU'RE COMING HOME I CAN'T WAIT. *glomptackles*

[tanizard.livejournal.com]

I LIKE TO GO THERE IN MY SLEEP
AREN'T ANY FLOORS FOR ME TO SWEEP

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Hee, THE MAGIC BRENDON FACE.

Okay, I tried but this internet: so crap. So I'm PRETTY sure it didn't send, but let me know, okay?

See you in half an hour, I'm totes going to be early today just to make you laugh.

[tanizard.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHA OMFG YOU CALLED IT THE MAGIC BRENDON FACE.

i wish you were not leaving meeee :( got the song, by the way. Thanks! :D

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

*_*

*sob* So do I. :( ahaha TOLD you that song went.

[tanizard.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHA OMFG I WONDER IF I CAN MAKE THE SCREEN DISPLAY SAY "MAGIC BRENDON *_*".

SO MUCH FUN. :D

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHAA IF YOU DO I WILL TOTALLY PEE MY PANTS LAUGHING TOMORROW.

Dude, you completely forgot to change it tonight before you left!!!!!!

[tanizard.livejournal.com]

OH MAN. I KNOW. I FAIL. I MAY GO IN AN HOUR EARLY JUST SO THAT HE DOES NOT SEE ME DO IT.

*totally dedicated to the cause, here*

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

You could TOTALLY think of an excuse to do it though right? And if you pick a busy time to do it he couldn't look over your shoulder...... >:D

You're practically sacrificing your life, man.

[tanizard.livejournal.com]

PFT. I refuse to believe that Brendon could beat me up, let alone would.

I would beat his bitch ass down.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Uh, remember that discussion we were having today about you, me, Ray and our relative toughnesses? PLZ.

Of course you would....

[tanizard.livejournal.com]

Look, pipe down with your logic, OK???

Ahahaha I now wish to find out whether or not he will hit me. :P

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

PS WHAT'S YOUR MSN ANYWAY

[tanizard.livejournal.com]

tapioca_pooding@hotmail.com

Oh man though, I totally fail at MSN. I'll try to be online sometimes if you add me, though. Usually I just appear offline and use Y!M because that's where all the important people are, ahahahhaa. But really. *makes effort*

[bad-mushroom.livejournal.com]

"As Lovers Go" by Dashboard Confessional

Is it really, truly perverse that I adore that song? And "Screaming Infidelities" too. *blush* Maybe I am SEKRITLY emo.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

I like it too, although.... not as much as I like Vindicated. in terms of SEKRITLY EMO, I might win. :P

[bad-mushroom.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah, "Vindicated" probably wins, though "Screaming Infidelities" is pretty emo like whoa at some points.

[disturbed-kiwi.livejournal.com]

That isn't an unnecessarily long Green Day title. It is one suite (Homecoming) that consists of however many songs that are made to work together.

Hence, you listed its title then the title of the composite songs, which is unnecessary.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Oops. :P I was just copying off the filename...

Just to let you know I DID get that comment about your original fiction and will try to read it but I'm sort of trashed right now so it's... not a good time. BUT AM FEELING VERY GUILTY ABOUT IT.

[disturbed-kiwi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's fair, most people would put it all in. The rpoblem is that on the album you can see the group heading and the individual track titles, but its all one file/song on the CD.

Don't feel guilty about it. I've had two good sets of comments, one leading me to do a paragraph by paragraph trawl for passive sentances (now to look for passive scenes... sigh).

When you do get a look, general 'yup thats a chapter shape there' or 'no, that character feels unreal' would be nice.
